Hey... ok ....I'm completely new to all this, I'm not very good at talking to people about my ED and am generally painfully private about it but the advice given on here has always been so supportive.... I've just had my diagnosis of ana and I've been signed off work. I hate not working and really want to get back but am struggling so much with food. I love my family but they're not sure what will help me to eat, so end up sitting me at a table and telling me repeatedly to eat something. I just don't know what to do anymore! Seems like I'm a completely different person, my day revolves around food and anything social so people don't draw attention to the ED. I wish I could be more determined to beat this but i can't seem to find the strength. Feel like I've just ranted on and on so sorry! X

i know what you mean feels as if every one wants you to just forget it and they dnt understand its not something u just decide at first its going to be really hard but believe me once you break the barrier of eating again youve got to talk to your family when your struggiling because i didnt and my rrecovering turned into bulemia which developed into diabulemia and i know its hard to grasp just eating normal foods again ive been there i dnt really know what to suggest other then talk to those around you when your struggiling i regret neglecting that i just thought they were all angry with me so didnt talk to them but you'll feel much better if you explain to them it takes time to get used to eating again and if it gets to much for you make a plan yourself discuss it with your family and take small steps hope this helps xx
